 * When writing messages to the screen, there are many different situations.

 *		    user reacted to a prompt.
 *		    Reset: After hitting a key for the hit-return prompt,
 *		    hitting <CR> for the command line or input().
 *		    Set: When any message is written to the screen.
 * msg_didout	    TRUE when something was written to the current line.
 *		    Reset: When advancing to the next line, when the current
 *		    text can be overwritten.
 *		    Set: When any message is written to the screen.
 * msg_nowait	    No extra delay for the last drawn message.
 *		    Used in normal_cmd() before the mode message is drawn.
 * emsg_on_display  There was an error message recently.  Indicates that there
 *		    should be a delay before redrawing.
 * msg_scroll	    The next message should not overwrite the current one.
 * msg_scrolled	    How many lines the screen has been scrolled (because of
 *		    messages).  Used in update_screen() to scroll the screen
 *		    back.  Incremented each time the screen scrolls a line.
 * msg_scrolled_ign  TRUE when msg_scrolled is non-zero and msg_puts_attr()
 *		    writes something without scrolling should not make
 *		    need_wait_return to be set.  This is a hack to make ":ts"
 *		    work without an extra prompt.
 * lines_left	    Number of lines available for messages before the
 *		    more-prompt is to be given.  -1 when not set.
 * need_wait_return TRUE when the hit-return prompt is needed.
 *		    Reset: After giving the hit-return prompt, when the user
 *		    has answered some other prompt.
 *		    Set: When the ruler or typeahead display is overwritten,
 *		    scrolling the screen for some message.
 * keep_msg	    Message to be displayed after redrawing the screen, in
 *		    main_loop().
 *		    This is an allocated string or NULL when not used.
